Alberta seeks court dismissal for lawsuit challenging opioid-prescribing rules

Alanna Smith

Ophelia Cara in her home in Calgary on Friday, Jan. 30, 2026. Cara first tried opiods within a hospital as a pain releiver following a traumatic experience. After struggling with mental health issues all her life, as well as migraines, difficulty sleeping, and trauma, she decided to attempt to use opiods to end her life, recalling how well she felt on opiods in the hospital, and saying in a 2023 interview on TalkOverdose.ca it was her first time experiencing actual happiness, not just obsession, as she has had a chemical imbalance her whole life, causing mental health struggles. After taking street drugs for a time - something she said during the photo shoot she does not recomend, nor does she enjoy the feeling of being ‘high’ that being on street drugs provides - she ended up receiving a perscription from her doctor (of which she’s had 5 different ones) for an opiod, having tried many other medications first. Her current medication she says not only has helped with her mental health, but has reduced her migraines from 2 - 3 times per week to about 3 times in 4 years, helps her sleep, and aside from about 30 seconds of elation once her meds kick in, she returns to a healthy baseline without the feeling of being ‘high’ or unable to focus. having being granted a narrow individual exception by a judge in 2023 allowing her to remain on her medication, however now the Government of Alberta is attempting to remove this exception once again. Cara says to replicate the benefits of the medication she is currently on, she would likely need to be on about 5 seperate ones, and says she is ‘insignificant’, in that she sees no reason for the government to spend so much time and money trying to change her single-person exemption, especially given that she’s “not just survivng, but thriving”, with ehr life remaining in order as she’s been preogresssing through signing on a lease, attending school and working.
